A recent feature spot in American Record Guide
LEGENDS & LIGHT was also reviewed in the recent publication of American Record Guide. While the review is a quite harsh.    This critic is inadmissible for the music of Canzona III Hidden in Her Light. He calls it "rash and directionless". OK, just as rash as a flowing mountain stream in front of the sea, and just as directionless as the sky ladders in an autumn forest are in front of the sun! It is not spent on him !! Better judge yourself, listener ...          ...

Another nice 'Legends & Light' review from TEXTURA on 'Legends & Light' (Navona Records NV6187):
Another nice review:  http://textura.org/archives/v/va_legendslight.htm       " The album opens with the three-part tone poem   Canzona III: Hidden in Her Light , the final installment in a triptych by the Netherlands-based Bakker and like the earlier parts a hymn (or canticle, in the composer's own words) to the sun. Performed with conviction by the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra (Petr Vronský conducting), each of the movements plays like a short story or symphonic poem for ...

Brand new review for LEGENDS & LIGHT from The Whole Note
Happy with another new, now Canadian review. And totally different!    https://www.thewholenote.com/ index.php/booksrecords2/ booksrecords2-2?limit=16& start=16   Another example of the fact that the mind of the connoisseur can, according to ability, say sensible things about the music on the basis of knowledge. But what matters is the experience of the music by the receptive listener, although I never forget that listeners are free to feel and judge as they want.
